Amberly and Trey celebrate Independence Day

Many things happen at a Independence Day celebration party. We had delicious potluck dishes and homemade ice cream, we had thunder and lightning, we had a firepit and a dog running in circles barking at our fireworks and we had a visiting adopted baby goat.
Trey's mother and two siblings (he was a triplet) died soon after he was born in May, 2009. Amberly and Derek rescued him by choosing to bottle feed him every four hours for several weeks. Trey runs to them when they call, follows them around the farm, walks on a leash, and cries and calls to them whenever he is not near them or they leave in their car. After we were introduced and he was returned to his pen, we witnessed his ongoing cries for them from his pen 100 feet away. He has nearly two dozen other goats in his "herd", but they didn't and don't feed him that bottle daily. Amberly and Derek will be celebrating their second wedding anniversary next week. Little Trey (named because he was a triplet) is their first kid.
